The week in pictures: 13 December 2013

Elena Kazachenko jumps from a wooden beam with a smoke flare attached to her ankle. The adrenaline junkie can be seen leaping from a makeshift wooden beam precariously placed over the edge of an an electricity pylon.

Elena, from Russia, even leaves behind a stream of coloured smoke from a signal flare attached to her ankle.Picture: Caters
